TWG CVIII: Drekk's Revenge POSTGAME (Humans Win)

[Tps222]

This was a great game everyone, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. FunnyGurl almost pulled off a miraculous finish, but Danceguy caught her in some great final day reads. For that, Danceguy is the MVP. Funnygurl is runner up and Manti is 3rd. Honorable mention to Afro for claiming Guardian when he knew it could only help his team and almost be impossible to use against him at that stage.

Final action count:

1.Xiz Wolfed Night 4
2.clasko1000 Wolfed Night 3

I'd like to take the time to apologize to everyone that was in the game when I withdrew; I took the game way too serious and it started to actually stress me out emotionally. I'd also especially like to apologize to my wolf partners for getting killed off early on.

I do want to play TWG again at some point, but this experience was rather rough for me.

Not even that, but like... I really struggled keeping under control outside of the game too. I'll actually post the conversation I had with Xiz after we were both dead:

[2/19/2014 5:43:09 PM] Vince - Xiz: You didn't quit TWG because of me, did you?
[2/19/2014 5:43:21 PM] Vince - Xiz: honestly plz
[2/19/2014 5:44:37 PM] Halogen-: It was a number of things, honestly -- after signing up for the game, I really started losing interest and slowly started realizing that I just don't have the capacity to look back at different games over and over and over again...

...with that being said, I will say that the day 1 defense was too intense for me to handle, like -- you might have been responding as such in your in-game form, but let me tell you: those responses from me were legitimate responses of frustration and legitimate anger, I was absolutely boiling
[2/19/2014 5:44:46 PM] Halogen-: it literally gave me anxiety afterward
[2/19/2014 5:44:54 PM] Halogen-: I was like "fuck this shit, I'm definitely not cut out for this game"
[2/19/2014 5:45:23 PM] Vince - Xiz: Well, I'd like to give you my deepest apologies, I really do feel like shit for it.
[2/19/2014 5:45:28 PM] Halogen-: oh it's alright, lol
[2/19/2014 5:45:36 PM] Halogen-: after I was replaced I felt SO much better, you have no idea haha
[2/19/2014 5:45:52 PM] Halogen-: it was so weird, like
[2/19/2014 5:45:59 PM] Halogen-: I remember reading the CII post-game
[2/19/2014 5:46:04 PM] Vince - Xiz: Making people pissed IS a legit strat that is allowed, and getting under peoples skin. I tried pushing you to the point where it wouldn't go over the limit, but I'm afraid i passed that.
[2/19/2014 5:46:15 PM] Halogen-: it is what it is, I'm not mad at you about it now
[2/19/2014 5:46:21 PM] Halogen-: I know it's part of the game, haha.
[2/19/2014 5:46:25 PM] Halogen-: but yeah, like
[2/19/2014 5:46:27 PM] Halogen-: I remember reading the CII post-game
[2/19/2014 5:46:39 PM] Halogen-: and being like "man, why did Silvuh take the game so seriously, BDN is his friend and he should just know that it's just a game"
[2/19/2014 5:46:44 PM] Halogen-: LOL I FELT SO STUPID

but yeah... I think I'll just stick to spectating from now on...

[yo man im awesome]

If it makes you feel better AJ, the only past games I've read are ones that I'm in

[yo man im awesome]

@Manti, this was a double-edged post I had made near death to you:

I'm literally stunned by the way you're playing right now, Manti. Really.

On one hand, I was trying to say how I was stunned by how poorly you were doing as seer, to keep myself in character.

On the other hand, I was legitimately complimenting you because your seer play was reaaallly good in my eyes and it was legit tough to work with. I came to terms with you seering me the night before it happened, and I started worrying more about what I would do when you'd call me on the seering.

Planning on doing a full player review and move overview for this game at some point tonight which will go here


This was a really exciting game, and the first one I got seriously into in a long time. Props to everyone for playing so well!

Xiz: I think people tend to give you a lot of problems over your technical style, but don't sweat it. You had some awesome early reads (FG/Halogen) that ended up being completely correct. Honestly, I think you could have gotten Halogen lynched D1 if you had provided examples (specifically the Halogen vote switch onto me). I couldn't get behind the Halogen lynch personally because I liked his early reads (which were totally sponged, but I wasn't ready to toy with that yet). At the end of the day I was in panic mode and I was trying not to get lynched probably harder then I was trying to kill a wolf.

The fact that you interact with so many players is a really strong point in your human game. My only suggestion would be that you should have made this post probably a second time after things had stopped being so hectic D1. Check your timing and make sure your big important posts don't get lost.

What ended up happening is that that post got lost during my reveal, and several players missed it until the following day (guilty). Once I saw it D2, I knew where I was going with my d2 vote.


Clasko: Glad you joined! I hope you had fun! I really hope the mess with your girlfriend doesn't impact your desire to join future games.

A couple of constructive notes for you to build off of
- I understand you missed the N2 guarding - Make sure you get your PM's in! they're important!
- If you think your reads are strong, push them! You had correct reads on 2 wolves IIRC, enough to make them sweat and kill you. With a little more experience you'll come out into the thread with conviction and nail one of those reads!

Did i say that? I Thought i didnt, i was waiting one more night before saying my thoughts, i wanted to be absolutly sure about it. If i wasnt the guardian i would have spoke up.
On the night of feb 19th right before i died, i wrote down that FG, Halo/James, Mellon were wolves and established connections to all of them. I was still happy i came very close to having a correct answer.
Ill try my best not to make that mistake again.

[yo man im awesome]

[Funnygurl555]

inb4 sunfan comes back and freaks out lmao

[XelNya]

I am the prettiest princess.

And none of you will tell me otherwise.

That being said, yeah pretty fun game. It took being killed to figure out the cardflips where off. But now my wolf death makes a HUGE amount of sense.

[dAnceguy117]

MVP could go to like 5 different people here, so that's an honor.

well played to the whole wolf team. seriously, y'all got us good. we were chasing our tails.

[Charu]

Shoutouts to dance for a beautiful save, also shoutouts for Afro for doing the only thing to save himself.

...Even though I thought he was the last wolf as I watched, lol.

[yo man im awesome]

this game though

[Tokzic]

THE ONLY USEFUL THING I DID THIS GAME WAS IMMEDIATELY GUESS YMIA

\o/

[mellonxcollie]

GG to everyone! I had a lot of fun playing this game

FG that was very well played. I have learned that there are no true friendships in the wolf game </3

Also, kudos to Danceguy and the remaining humans for picking up on FG and winning the game~

Yeah sorry about that LOL
That was basically my major lesson in CVI. Got too buddy buddy with the wolves. =P

And Mr Manti scared the living daylights out of me. I wanted him dead for days
I wasn't expecting dAnceguy to be the one to kill me off though
Me and my freudian slips. Nice play

Hahaha no need to apologize, it was a good play! You definitely got me on your side which is a hard thing to do for anybody in TWG
